I suppose I am just too old fashioned for today's world ,but, I have often wondered while reading this thread,...... how do the female members among us feel about all the sexual innuendos tossed in here like garbage in a garbage can ??? isn't there a "humor" topic where those can be tossed where some of us will steer clear of ??not sure how this stuff applies to the topic ?????????

Come on WH, on this site I'd bet serious money that the women are grown up & enjoy a good belly chuckle as much as the next guy--there's a big difference between malicious & old country humor. The mind see's what it wants to see--GARBAGE??? I don't think so ;)

Sorry if I offended anyone. Those really are just three parts of an antique stove. ;)

No offense taken here, just some good laughs. And most of the women I know would enjoy this humor as much as we are

So, I think I am now experiencing the problems of a chimney to short!!! I will definitely be adding some more courses to that soon!!

I believe (correct me if I am wrong) that because of these high winds we are getting with this storm (i'm guessing some gusts were at least 55) I am getting back drafts or downdrafts. After shaking the stove down, I noticed the blue bitches dancing upside down!! Blue flames whipping downward into the bottom of the stove when the wind blows.
My assumption is that the wind is coming across and because of the low chimney, the wind acts almost like a cover and is pushing downward into the stove???

Maybe I should have started a new thread for this...?

:poke:

That sounds dangerous if the flames are going down. Carbon Monoxide poisoning to be specific.

I agree...Keeping a close eye on it and trying to get a strong burn going (not having a lot of success). I do have CO detectors throughout the house that I know do work. Might have to let it burn out until I can get it taken care of.

I don't like the sound of that!!! only 1 or 2 days left to season with high erratic winds (when the baby blues are dancing upside down its time to shut her down!!!) most of us here are having just the opposite problem of to strong a draft (you need to amend that chimney!)
